A LEADING policy adviser to the Blair Government recalled coming away from policy discussions on immigration ‘with the clear sense that the policy was intended – even if this wasn’t its main purpose – to rub the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date. That seemed to me to be a manoeuvre too far’.

The Blair-Brown Labour Government alienated its working class support, promoted the BNP and lost the election.

This is exactly what David Cameron seems to be doing with homosexual marriage – or redefining the ancient social and religious pillar of almost every religion in the world.

Mr Cameron seeks to alienate Conservatives and woo Liberal Democrats and Labour, just as he did in the 2010 election where he attacked Conservatives who voted UKIP and went out of his way to promote Nick Clegg.

Mr Cameron was unable to win the election even against the catastrophic Gordon Brown and set UKIP on a new course of electoral success.

Mr Cameron was and remains ‘the heir to Blair’.
